Talk to me about vans!

[LolaNova]

DH needs a van for work purposes. Medium size ideally - needs to have a fairly large back space. He also needs to be able to take DCs to nursery occasionally so needs to be able to get two car seats in. It would be a bonus if all four of us could fit as we could then use it for travelling to sporting events (we both take part in endurance sports). Currently budget has not been decided. It’ll be under £10,000 though as we want to buy outright.

I’m looking at Pergeot Partner LWB Currently. Mercedes-Benz Vito looks perfect but I don’t think we’ll get one in budget.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

We've got a LWB Vauxhall Vivaro crew cab. It has 3 seats in the front (you can only have 1 car seat in the front, though) and 3 in the back. The rear is huge as we use it for transporting motorbikes.

We were put off the Vito as most of them don't have bulkheads behind the 2nd row of seats which means that it's quite noisy to travel in and cold.
